I’ve been on social security disability for nine years. I worked my ass off until I couldn’t anymore. My physical and mental health both went to shit and I had no other choice but to file for disability. Social security is money that people earn through working. People with disabilities and people who are retired earn that money and we need it to get us through the rest of our lives.
Then someone like Elon Musk (Apartheid Clyde) comes along and says, “I don’t think you deserve it anymore.” Why is that though? What does he have against those of us who are retired or disabled getting the benefits we earned through working our whole lives sometimes under shitty circumstances?
Apartheid Clyde and most billionaires hate social security or the same reason: it represents a system where wealth is redistributed to help people rather than being hoarded by the ultra-rich. Social security is a direct challenge to the capitalist ideal that people should “earn their keep” through endless labor, while billionaires like Apartheid Clyde accumulate wealth passively through exploitation.
Apartheid Clyde has openly criticized Social Security, calling it a “Ponzi scheme,” which is ironic given that his entire empire is built on government subsidies, taxpayer-funded bailouts, and stock market hype. He doesn’t like the idea of government using tax revenue to provide a safety net for regular people, but he’s perfectly fine with it when it benefits him.
At the core, billionaires hate Social Security because it proves society can function when wealth is shared, which threatens their grip on power. If people weren’t forced to work until the day they die, they’d have more freedom to resist the system that makes people like Musk so obscenely rich.

The richer people are the higher their arshole score, it turns my gut that these parasites always target the poorest.

Who do absolutely nothing to them. We’re not stealing their money. We don’t affect their lives in any way other than the fact we can’t afford their shitty cars.

They’re doing something similar in the UK right now, K. Brexit cost’s us £50 billion a year and so they’re cutting costs to balance the books. Millions of disabled people will lose vital economic support and I reckon 50,000 plus will die from suicide or increased levels of illness. Last time changes were made 10,000 died. But these changes are much bigger. Economists say the cuts are false economy and will actually cause more unemployment. Who benefitted from Brexit. Only the rich. Who pays for Brexit. Everyone but them, especially the poor and vulnerable. You have my empathy, and my anger that Americans are being dumped by their government in the same way as Brits.
